A proof of the overshadowing excellence of these 
tables, which are the standard in this country, is the 
fact that for nearly ten years the aim of the entire 
swarm of " rival " billiard-table makers has been to 
devise an acceptable imitation of the Combination 
Cushion, which, however, is but one of the advan- 
tages of the Standard American Table. As a sub- 
stitute for the Combination Cushion invented by Phe- 
lan & Collender, and which (labodies three distinct 
degrees of density and elasticity in one compact, in^ 
separable substance, these imitators have tried strips 

OF STEEL, STRIPS OF THK COMMONEST RUBBER STRETCHED 
BY HAND, STRIPS OF WHALEBONE, " FACINGS " OF ROLL- 
ED BROWN PAPER, of ORDINARY WHIPCORD, and lastly, 

of CATGUT. But in every instance the experimenters, 
though they have infringed upon the principle which 
is patented in the Combination Cushion, Imve failed 
of their object ; the cushions so constructed being 
not only unreliable and unfit for the immediate pur- 
poses of scientific play, but likewise utterly devoid of 
that other highly important qualification — durability. 
Fortunately fur the inventor x)f the Combination 
Cushion, these imitations, worthless as they are, have 
had one g od effect. They have convinced the public 
that the cushion whicli is worthy of imitation by men 
who claim not only to be practical mechanics, but in- 
ventors also, must possess some meritorious essen- 
tial — must, in truth, be as near perfection as it is 
permitted human ingenuity to come. 

Messrs Phelan & Collender have obtained from the 
United States Patent Office seven distinct patents for

improvements in Billiard Tables and Cushions. They 
have likewi>;c obtained from the French Government 
a patent for improvements in Billiard Cushions. 

In the manufacture of their Tables they employ 
the very best mechanics to be procured in this coun- 
try and Europe. They have also the exclusive use of 
a variet}'^ of machines, which insure a scientific and 
mechanical accuracy not attainable at any, other es- 
tablishment of the kind in the woi^ld. 

As in their tables, in other important specialties 
they cannot be equalled. Their Patent Lathe for 
turning Billiard Balls has supplied a want long felt ; 
and the balls now used by all the great players in 
their matches are of uniform size and weight. Then, 
too, for convenience,, serviceableness, economy, and 
facility of application, the Sklf- Adhesive Cue 
Leathers, patented and for sale only by Messrs. 
Phelan & Collender, are far ahead of all other styles 
of Cue Leathers, which they have, in fact, almost 
wholly superseded. 

Our experience in fitting up Private Billiard Rooms 
is a guaranty of our Superiority in this respect. 
Gentlemen about adding Billiard Rooms to their 
residences are invited to call and inspect the- facilities, 
including Ornamental Gas Fixtures and Shades of 
unique designs, which we have for fitting up rooms 
of this class elegantly and yet at comparatively mod- 
erate cost. Having an extended familiarity with and 
thorough knowledge of all the appliances of billiards, 
and constantly on hand a vast stock of the best and

These tables are unequalled. For years their 
superiority has been admitted, not alone brail pro- 
fessional players, but (and this is even greater 
commendation) also by such of the public as, from 
years of experience and a thorough knowledge of 
the game and its machinery, are qualified to cor- 
rectly estimate the merits of billiard tables. 

The Standard American Tables of Messrs. Phe- 
LAN & CoLLKNDKR were first brought to the notice of 
the billiard-playing public in 1855, and at once 
absorbed the critical attention of the best judges 
in the States, as something combining elegance with 
durability, and as presenting to the scientific player 
that which had ."previously been his desideratum — a 
cushion from which the line of reflection would 
correspond with the line of incidence. • 

Since their introduction, the Tablks and Combi- 
nation Cushions of Messrs. Phelan & Collender 
have co)^i}ined to make rapid strides into popular 
favor, xinm to-day it may be, said that they have 
virtually^superseded those of other makers. The 
demand for them is now greater than ever, and the 
entire resources of the largest and most complete 
manufactory in TTiK WORLD are scarcely able to 
<c.t< ;/u^c ., i.ii this active, never-ceasing demand.
